I ran across a great site that offers some great topics to blog about.  I thought I would participate and use it as a way to stretch my brain.

My list of thirteen things, is thirteen things that I am going to try and accomplish this year.


1.   I am going to try to not be such a slacker this year.  The depression has caused me to lose my motivation to do a lot of things.  I would like to work on getting that motivation back.  


2.   I am going to try to keep working on my depression and see if I can manage to reach a remission point sometime this year.  Or at the very least have few and fewer days that are not so good.


3.   I am going to try volunteering at the diabetes clinic so I can get back into the world.  I would like to be able to offer support to other people, that gives me a good feeling.


4.   I am going to try to do some cross stitch this year.  It is a hobby I used to enjoy before my depression got bad and I would like to pick it back up.


5.   I am going to try to be a better wife and mother.


6.   I am going to try to be a better friend to the people in my life.


7.   I am going to try to get dressed before noon at least five days a week.


8.   I am going to try to get out of the house more often.


9.   I am going to try to be more at peace with myself.


10. I am going to try to worry less.


11. I am going to try to be more open when things bother me.


12. I am going to try to find more positive things in life.


13. I am going to try and let someone know if I am having any suicidal thoughts before I act on them.
